I'm participating in the Sneak Peak Sunday blog hop.
Here's an excerpt from my latest book, a reincarnation/time travel story entitled Call Down the Moon:
He went into
the kitchen and pulled a dusty bottle from the wine rack, then dug in the
drawer for a corkscrew. His hands shook as he inserted the corkscrew and worked
it down. He couldn’t believe this moment had come. Aisling was here. After all
these centuries. It was…magic. He took a deep breath. She was the whole center
of his world, his reason for existence. He had to make certain everything went
perfectly.
Pulling out the
cork, he poured each of them a glass of wine and took the glasses into the living
room. She was sitting on the couch, looking so beautiful it made his chest
hurt. He handed her a glass and sat down beside her. Not too close. He didn't
want to distress her. But if he didn't touch her soon, he would lose his wits.
She took a sip
of the wine. The tip of her tongue poked out in an unconscious gesture as she
tasted the wine. Connar sucked in his breath. He couldn’t endure much more. He
was overwhelmed with desire. It was torment to be so close to her. To watch the
rise and fall of her breasts beneath the tight fabric of her dress. To observe
the pulse of life in her slim neck. To feast his eyes on the silken perfection
of her skin. Every nuance, every detail of her body aroused him.
"It's good
wine," she said. "I mean, I'm hardly a connoisseur, but it's very
mellow." She looked at him, a shy flash of blue eyes. His mind went blank
as he focused on her lips. Full and ripe, and moist from the wine.
He put down his
own glass and cleared his throat, struggling for control. "Yes, it's good
wine. I've been saving it."
"Saving it? For me?" Her voice was
breathless, soft and light. Her pupils were huge, the black centers consuming
the blue irises.
You can guess what happens next. Maybe this blog hop should be on Tuesdays and be called "Teaser Tuesdays!"
